Tadalafil 20mg works by inhibiting a specific enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). PDE5 breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a molecule crucial for smooth muscle relaxation in the penis. By blocking PDE5, Tadalafil increases cGMP levels.
This elevated cGMP leads to relaxation of smooth muscles within the blood vessels of the penis. Increased blood flow follows, facilitating an erection in response to sexual stimulation. Importantly, Tadalafil only enhances the natural erectile response; it doesn’t initiate it.
The duration of Tadalafil’s effect varies, but its longer half-life means it remains effective for a longer period compared to other similar medications. This allows for more flexibility in timing sexual activity.
Note: Tadalafil’s mechanism relies on existing nitric oxide pathways. Sexual stimulation is necessary to trigger the release of nitric oxide, initiating the cGMP pathway and the resulting erection.
Always consult a healthcare professional before using Tadalafil or any other medication. They can assess your individual health status and determine if Tadalafil 20mg is suitable for you and discuss potential side effects.
